Freeway 2000/4000 Hardware Installation Guide
If you have a Freeway with an MVME 162 CPU, use a standard EIA-232, 25-pin
straight-through (non-nulling) cable. Connect the female end of the cable to the male
connector labeled “modem connector” on the back panel (see Figure 2–4 on page 38).
Connect the male end of the cable to the modem.
If you have a Freeway with an MVME 2600 CPU, use an EIA-232, 9-pin-to-25-pin
straight-through (non-nulling) cable. Connect the 9-pin female end of the cable to the
male connector labeled
COM 1 on the front panel (see Figure 2–3 on page 36). Connect
the 25-pin male end of the cable to the modem.
Connect a telephone line to the modem and give the telephone number to your service
representative. The terminal that accesses the modem must be configured for 9600 bits
per second. You can either supply your own modem and cable or you can order a Cus-
tomer Support Kit from Simpact that includes these items. Contact your Simpact sales
representative for details.
For security reasons, you may want to disconnect the telephone line from the modem
when the modem-connected console is not in use.
A.3 Using Two Consoles
Two consoles can be connected to Freeway at the same time; for example, a local con-
sole and a modem-connected console.
Note
If a local console and a modem-connected console are used,
entries cannot be made on the two consoles at the same time.
Simultaneous entries will not harm the equipment, but the results
will be unpredictable. Therefore, when two consoles are in use, it is
recommended that the console operators keep in touch by talking
on the telephone. The operators can then coordinate the timing of
their entries to avoid making them at the same time.
